The best word that can describe me is influential. For starters, my birth in December of 1985 caused such a worldwide uproar of freedom and all around awesomeness, it caused communism in the Soviet Union to fall not long afterwards in jealousy of the fruits of democracy’s labor (and my mother’s…). At only a toddler’s age, I flew my plane to Dublin, Ireland to go on vacation. My presence was felt by Ireland’s rock sensation Bono, leading to the worldwide hit “With or Without You”. He wanted to name an entire album Rob, but I gave him a piece of my mind, telling him that naming an album after me was a sneaky way of making sure it would remain a number one hit for the next twenty years. I convinced him to name it Joshua Tree after the One even cooler than me. I have been the source of many religious and political movements, most notably The Holy Order of the Son and the Kill Righty movements respectively. The Kill Righty movement has even led to secret talks of establishing the Democratic Republic of Left-Handastan, though this remains mum. [/fun]
At the time of this writing, I am a twenty-two year old college senior. I do not know where I will be in one year, and that excites me. I enjoy impulsiveness. I have a hard time striking a balance between being social and being alone, so I compromise with such activities as going to public places to have the option of being social with the true goal of keeping to myself. I am very warm and easygoing on the outside yet have a rich, complex, inner life and imagination; this causes me to be easy to get along with but hard to know. I am working on this. I love people, or at least thinking of people as a system to be analyzed and understood. I like reading and writing but not arithmetic. I think everything is best understood through the written word. It has taken twenty two years for it to come to fruition, but I really love my family. I don’t understand them, and they don’t understand me, but since everybody is aware of it we get to laugh at the humour of it and still love one another in spite of it. I wish I was my dad’s friend when he was my age so I could learn even more from him.
I love the Church but am skeptical of the church. I am working on this, too; a lot of Christians of my generation need to work on this, but I think the church needs to meet us half way.
